Could someone tell me which category to use by a RN for green card petition? Which one is the easiest? How long it usually takes? I am asking this on behalf of RN who is working in USA right now. Thanks.
 
No Title

Get a lawyer!

I\'m in the process right now of getting a green card (Canadian RN working in the US) and it\'s been 2.5 years so far. It\'s the EB3 category. There are a lot of different things nurses must do to get permission first to apply for the green card so I suggest hiring an immigration attorney. Better yet, if the hospital your friend is working at is any good, they\'ll do the paper work for him/her.
 
green card without TSE for foreign nurses

My wife has passed CGFNS, TOEFL, but failed in TSE three times. She is frustrated with TSE business. It\'s a big scam!!. I think that No foreign nurse can speak in American accent. Then, why INS says that TSE is a requirement for foreign nurses while file for greencard.

Do you think that INS will approve her case without a TSE?. please let me know.

Thanks
 
alternative english exam if in the USA

she can take melab english exam, it's easier to pass than TSE... however available only to those in the US

Did you know you can also take the IELTS test? You may find IELTS easier than TSE.
 
Don't waste your time on TSE

I have been taking TSE for 9 times and haven't got it. I got 45 for 7 times but never hit 50. ETS is fishing. I will give up on it and turn to IELTS which will get ride of the three-month limit. Anybody may visit the Forum on www.testmagic.com no matter what test you take. It is very helpful and please help each other if you could.

Did you obtain your RN education in the US or abroad?

Processing time depends on the Service Center. For Texas it's less then one year, according to USCIS website.

Lawyer is not required. Don't waste your money.
 
Yeah, better do it yourself and get your case denied.

Mr, Don't confuse people, ok? Don't advise such things.
Have you applied for AOS yourself? Do you know haw to fill out those papers?

Attorney is very needed. Nobody's doing in on their own. It takes time, knowledge and experience. Hire an attorney and you will be safe.
 
I'm going to file for AOS soon. Without any lawyers, of cause.
The procedure is standard. And I have no special circumstances that require to have a lawyer.
I changed from one non-immigrant status to another before. Without any "attorney". All you have to do is to follow the order and read instructions carefully.

Do you know that attorneys charge about $1000 for fillling out I-140 and another $1000 for I-495. Can you tell me, what is so difficult about filling out I-495?

Or I-131, I-765 (about $500 charged by "lawyers"). Is it difficult to fill out those correctly?

Or mayby G-325A looks difficult to you? Well, then you need an attorney.
But I don't need one.

In fact, most of the paperwork in attoneys offices is done by paralegals, who work for $10/hr.

Your attoney will neigher help you to get your VisaScreen certificate or pass medical examination, nor will be able to accelerate FBI name check.

Rules are the same for everybody, regardless of if they have an attorney or not.

Many liers..., sorry I mean lawyers, are not doing their job right and in the timely manner. And in the real life it's not like in the movie, where the attorney is like a magician, who makes the impossible possible. On this forum you can find many cases of lawyers' negligence and unethical behavior toward their customers.

Here is one example for you: http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=125789&highlight=lawers+money

And here is one more: http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=194143&highlight=lawyer+RFE+money

Here people share experience about getting green card through marriage without any lawyers: http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=191615&highlight=lawyer+increase+fee

And this is a reason why immigration forums exist. To share the information. Not for advises like: "go to the attorney immediately!".

Good luck!
